In a game full of magic, you may wonder: why bother with weapons? Would it not be wise to withhold these weighty hunks of wood and metal from myself in favor of whimsical spells? Well, while warping the Weave to your will is a worthwhile endeavor, living out the fantasy of wielding a warhammer to wantonly whack at a water weird, or wholly whelming a wyvern on the wing with your whip whenever you want is is enough to wow anyone! Yes, the martial classes are truly impressive, and they need weapons to match so that they can keep up with their spellcasting teammates! But not all weapons are made equal! Not only are some better than others depending on your playstyle, some are so bad that they should never be equipped! This week, Rob (@thedndwannabe) and Steven review all the weapons in the PHB to help you find which ones are right for you, and which ones are wrong for everyone! While some of the information may be obvious, I'll bet you'll learn something new.

Let's face it: Spellcasters don't get access to many cantrips. They don't start with many, and that number hardly changes as they progress, making their selection an integral part of your character (arguably on par with your race or subclass selections in terms of impact). With so many to choose from and so few to learn, and knowing how critical this selection is, how can you decide? Don't worry, though; Rob and Steven have your back!

When you sit down to play a game of D&D, you are entering into an implicit agreement. You have certain expectations of the others around the table, and they have similar expectations of you!

D&D 5e has a lot of numbers and abbreviations. Stats like 99HP, 18AC, and 2 attacks per round have mechanical implications, to be sure, but what do they really say about your character? And, more importantly, what do they narratively represent when that character is in combat? This week, Rob and Steve look at making the combats at your table more immersive by focusing less on the numbers on the page, and more on the action in the scene!
